About Bernie Siegel, Ph.D., CBI

Bernie Siegel (Ph.D.) after an initial career as a scientist became a Dunkin Donuts franchisee. From 1975-1983 he and his brother operated up to nine units, and were the largest franchisee in the Dunkin system at the time. He left the donuts business in 1983 and has been a business broker ever since. He is considered an expert by his peers in both franchises and in SBA lending. He has authored and continues to present courses toward business broker certification in franchising and in SBA lending for the International Business Broker Association (IBBA).

In 2002 Dr. Siegel created Siegel Capital, a company that arranges SBA and other financing throughout the US and Puerto Rico. The company is focused on (though not limited to) business acquisition and franchise start-up loans. Siegel Capital continues to grow geometrically, and will close about $55 million in loans this year. Reach them at http://www.siegelcapital.com
